TCI T1105 is 3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenylacetic Acid, CAS number 951-82-6, an arylacetic acid whose benzene ring carries three adjacent methoxy groups. In the laboratory it serves as a starting material, or building block, for organic synthesis. Its carboxylic acid group is easily converted into esters, amides, or alcohols. Its electron-rich aromatic ring can also be modified further. In the TCI catalogue the product sits in the Non-Heterocyclic Building Blocks category, a group of materials that form the basic framework of many target molecules in organic and medicinal chemistry research.
What makes this compound attractive to chemists is its combination of functional groups. A single methylene carbon separates the carboxylic acid from the aromatic ring, so its reactivity differs from that of an ordinary benzoic acid. This makes it flexible for amide bond formation and for cyclization reactions. The three methoxy groups give a distinctive substitution pattern that is often found in bioactive molecular scaffolds. That pattern helps researchers who build libraries of derivative compounds, compare the effects of substitution, or explore structure-activity relationships. The TCI brand adds confidence in the quality of the material.
In Indonesian laboratories, this compound is typically used in university research groups, institutional laboratories, and industrial R&D settings that work on organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. It is usually ordered as a reagent for small-scale synthetic work, where reliable starting materials matter for reproducible results. Researchers often use it to prepare intermediates, test new reaction conditions, or extend a series of related compounds. AMI Scientific supplies this TCI reagent to laboratories that need dependable building blocks for such projects.
